LinuxQuestions.org - How Probe will bind driver and device in below driver snippet

How Probe will bind driver and device in below driver snippet. I was trying to understand i2c_device_id and platform_device_id.For platform_device_id I see these type of drivers and device declarations. The names in id table are different than driver.driver.name How they will be matched later ? file

/drivers/media/tuners/it913x.c

Code:

static const struct platform_device_id it913x_id_table[] = {

    {"it9133ax-tuner", 1},

    {"it9133bx-tuner", 2},

    {},

};

MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(platform, it913x_id_table);



static struct platform_driver it913x_driver = {

    .driver = {

        .name  = "it913x",

        .suppress_bind_attrs    = true,

    },

    .probe      = it913x_probe,

    .remove    = it913x_remove,

    .id_table  = it913x_id_table,

};

At first I thought that these names should be in arch directory as board file entries. So of the drivers i can find board entries (such as /drivers/crypto/marvell/cesa.c) but for some I can't.

I referred this

https://lwn.net/Articles/448499/

"If an ID table is present, the platform bus code will scan through it every time it has to find a driver for a new platform device. If the device's name matches the name in an ID table entry, the device will be given to the driver for management a pointer to the matching ID table entry will be made available to the driver as well."

the bold line I thought should be if the driver's name and device name in the ID table matches then the device will be given to the driver for management.

Am I correct ?

How does platform_device_id helps in binding the device and driver?
